PlayStation Network Scheduled Maintenance

PlayStation Network will be offline for routine scheduled maintenance on Thursday, January 19th from approximately 8am until 9pm PST.

During the maintenance, you will be unable to access the following services:

PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP, and Media Go.

PlayStation Network Account Management.

PlayStation Network Account Registration.

PlayStation Home

Music Unlimited & Video Unlimited services

In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from us.playstation.com.

Users who are already signed into their account on PlayStation Network before the start of the maintenance should be able to stay signed in to their online session, but will not be able to access any of the services listed above. Users who attempt to sign-in to their PlayStation Network account after the start of the maintenance may be presented with the site maintenance notification page if they haven’t signed in recently.

During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game Trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.

Stay tuned to the PlayStation Twitter feed for updates and a notice when maintenance has concluded. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I still don’t understand why Sony does this “routine maintenance” during the day, all day, like this when I think it’s best done during non-peak hours. That’s like the dumbest thing in the world. I wish someone would explain it to me… Maybe I’M the dumb one.

I don’t mean to come off as an ‘ass’, but most companies, websites, etc, do this during the middle of the night during off hours so to not affect the majority of its customers.

I hope their increase Cloud Storage to double that amount or make it possible to back-up online your whole PS3 data for when you need to change out your hard drive for more GB’s or even 1TB. For user who don’t own potable hard drive for back ups. IF PS+ has more awesome things to offer i am truly in for PS+, its sounds awesome but offers need better deals.

Maybe sony should add some new things to PS+ like; get 75% off all games and ect. Or try something like this; get one free theme’s or something. How about new PSN look & design that would beat everything else i said just now.

PS: Help protest against SOPA & PIPA by going to twitter and type #Stopbill or #StopSOPA&PIPA and state why you are protecting against.

Why is it you always leave out the hours for people who live in other time zones? You and everyone else who posts on here do it all the time. And, very annoying and a pain in the ass. When you have do your job and look it up. Not all your network users live in california or near it.

I, For one live in Kentucky. Which means I’m on EST. (Eastern Standard Time)

You really need to start posting the other time zones & not just the one you are in.

@dihdav7 Wow, seriously? Way to be a jerk. And I wasn’t the only one who said the scheduling was bad so thanks for pointing me out. And you’re calling me stupid yet you have no idea who I am so thanks for being a bully on the internet, typical.

I’m happy sony is doing maintenance because it’s improving our game experience.
And like I said in my previous post I’ll be preoccupied by other games so step off jerk.

Pretty sure you can go into Netflix if you keep pressing buttons to bypass the log-in. I think. I haven’t done that in awhile, I think since the last outage.

Ugh ok, so that’s 11 AM UNTIL 12 AM EST

Sweet. Glad it’s not on a Friday!

Wait what? 11 hours? It would be great if … you know… we actually knew why this maintenance is happening. Just saying “Oh were fixing some things” doesn’t really feel good to me unless I know what’s being fixed, maybe I have something to look forward too during the maintenance?

It would’ve been better if they gave us an earlier notice such as yesterday. I don’t get why they have random maintenance, but they should definitely announce it a day or two before actually doing it. It really annoys me when I can’t get online to play a few games.

can you guys explain to me why every time I try to use Google search on the PS3 browser a messages appears saying ”there is not enough memory”? or something like that and the page turns blank.This is happening after the last PS3 4.00 firware update.*

@ supreme_entity; you’re not the only ones in the world you know, when it’s your daytime it’s night time elsewhere. sony being Jap, and having a lot more consoles in the rest of the world rather than in the US makes them favour scheduling times to suit themselves a priority. Also, i’m not sure, but isn’t the PSN managed in the UK?

just stop moaning and get a job. If you work nightshift then get a proper job.
